The goal of The National Campaign’s work with the entertainment media is to get messages about pregnancy prevention and consequences to our target audiences through the television, magazines, and websites they already consume. We do this by developing partnerships with media leaders, educating them about our issues, supporting their efforts to include our issues, and collaborating with them to produce fresh, engaging, and relevant content.
